My June FQ went postal today. I was able to workout in the pool today as well. My walking group switched from walking in the heat to walking in the pool. I had a nice 1 1/2 hour workout and didn't melt after we were finished.

Very nice, I do wish I had a pool close enough for me to walk in or do the water aerobics.

I will be melting here in Texas soon enough

Making better choices: we have ice cream in the house and I've barely touched it!! The other night I decided I wanted some and literally only took one small scoop. And that was enough, amazing. I used to overflow my bowl with it. The best part is I really don't even think about it or sit around wanting it. Haven't excercised in a while, so that is my goal for this week. (I'm in for June and sent my FQ in along with the May FQ.)

Wow, I just found this thread. This sounds like fun. I need to loose approximately 28 pounds to be at my goal ideal weight for me. I am a couple of days late, but I know what my scale said on the first, because it said the same thing at me today. DH was cooking again and then had two birthdays so made homemade ____________. Gave half of them away, yes two desserts. This way there is less temptation in the house. I will be glad to send in a FQ. I have to dig one out or make one.

CindyA that is awesome that you satisfied yourself with a small scoop instead of the overflowing bowl. I had been the same way in the past. Now when I desire any ice cream, I go get a double scoop and I am done for several months. I also desire from time to time a Dairy queen blizzard........I use to get the large now I get the small. Little changes make a big difference.

Welcome to our newcomers!!
I had a fun weekend. Traveled to Iowa to help celebrate my mom's 85th birthday. My sister came back to WI with me and will be spending the week. You would think we would do some fun stuff but we will work in my gardens, paint a bedroom and help my daughter move. We just went to Sam's and bought all healthy food - berries, veggies and hummus. We even walked this evening.
Bad news may be coming soon. Hubby called today and said they have a big announcement tomorrow. He is thinking the company is closing. I'm being more hopeful that maybe it is a buyout.

It was tough, but tonight I had to say no to my DH's tunnel pizza. Oh my goodness, was so hard. Good thing I ate a good lunch of broiled chicken with sauted onions at work. Yep left overs, but so good.
Thanks for saying welcome. I am not a real good person at loosing weight. It has always been a challenge to loose it. Was always on the thin side and with the five back injuries, yep, can't exercise as much, it is so much harder and being older now. I just need to stay on track and not fad diet. I think I will go back to the LifeStyle Diet that my mom was on. Did it once and lost 10 pounds then hurt back again and did not stay on track, DH cooks so good. So will work hard in loosing the 28 pounds I would love to see off so I can wear my girls clothes instead of them wearing my sizes that are to small in my closet. Here we goooooooooooo

Kathleen, This is great info! I was just thinking how good watermelon is tasting right now and that has to be a zero I wonder where cheese is on this list. Sadly I think that may be the next thing I need to give up.
